Originating in D&D, green slime (one of two types of slime, the other being olive slime) is an immobile growth found in caves which grows by turning creatures into more green slime.

The grey ooze is from D&D. According to the Monstrous Manual, it resembles a rock formation.

Jellies are large amoeba-like creatures from D&D. Ochre jelly is the "basic" type (as opposed to the more dangerous mustard jellies and slithering trackers), while yellow jelly appears to be a Square creation, although mustard jelly turns yellowish-brown when attacking.

After black puddings arrived in FF via D&D, Square seems to have expanded on the idea, resulting in these weirdos.
As far as I can tell, there is no dish called a "Bavarian" - there are, however, several with "Bavarian" in their names - Bavarain rice pudding, Bavarian cream etc, so it's liekly that the purple Bavarian is a reference to one of these. Or maybe the mosnter designer just has some beef against people from Bavaria.
